Refer to the drawing of a water storage tank with a differential pressure (D/P) level detection system (see figure below).

Water Storage Tank-PG-51

Assume that the initial temperature of the reference leg and the water in the tank is 100°F, and that reference leg temperature does not change.

If the temperature of the water in the tank increases by 20°F, the D/P sensed by the detector will __________ if the __________ of the water in the tank is constant.

A. decrease; level
B. decrease; mass
C. remain the same; level
D. remain the same; mass
